THE GREAT STRIKE.
Arbitration to b Employed to Settle Dn-
1culheS.
Meanwhile the Employees 90 Back to
Work
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. q

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 27.
The executive committee of the Reading
railroad employees, after a secret session
which lasted several hours. decided on Tues
day morning to lift the great strike on the
Reading system pending arbitration by the
company. The five crews over whom the
! trouble originated are to be supported in the
meantime by financial aid from the en-
plOyes.
! This decision was reached after a confer
ence with the superintendent at his office,
Monday night. The committee then returned
/ 10 their meeting place in Porl Richmond, and
after several hours discussion decided TO
submit their case to arbitration. In the af-
ternoon motion was carried 10 propose ar
| bitration to the officials. Mr.. Sweijard, the
superintende. 1t, met the committee and as
sured them tIat such plan vol lie entire
ly agreeable to the Reading railroad.
| There were present fourteen members of
the committee, representing ali sections of
the road. The decision of the Knights of
Reading, Monday, not to strike, is supposed
to have had some influence upon the action
of the board.
| One of the committee said this morning
.'We decided that it would be far better to
pay the five striking crews their wages than
jeopardize so many interests in this city.
Mr.. Sweijard has always treated us squarely
and we feel that we can trust him. We have
not yet agreed upon time or method of arbi-
tration. That will be held at the convent
ence of both sides, but as speedily as possi-
BILE. We have seLt kilograms to all our as
sembies to res ume work at once"
The following Philadelphia dispatch has
been received at the office Of President Cor
bin of the Reading Company; Every man
returned ON Tuesday morning and all trains
are running as usual. All the engines were
taken out by old crews and the superinten-
going on as usual. At all the stations in the
city men are showing up and the present in
dications are that all business will soon be
working as usual"
Information just received from Reading
states that all reported for work Tuesday
morning as usual.
A circular was issued from the general
office Of the Reading company this afternoon
stating that the strike ordered from Port
Richmond has developed the fact that many
employees were compelled by others to join
the Knights of Labor. While the Reading
company never objected to its employees vol
unfairly connecting themselves with any la
Dor organization it will protect them at all
hazards and any cost from being forced into
any union, and any employe of the company
guilty of using undue or improper influence
upon any of the employees to force them to
JOIN any society against their own free will,
will, upon proof furnished, be instantly dis
missed and never allowed to return. Amy
employe furnishing such information will be
fully protected.

CRIMES and ACCIDENTS.
BOSTON ovER-RuN BY CROOKS.
The Police Powerless to Protect Per-
sons and Property.
New YORK, Dec. 81.

New YORK, Dec. %.
The Evening World says:
Andy Coakley, a well known crook, as
serts that Boston is over-run by crooks from
New York. The police are powerless to cope
with them. Boston is now the paradise of
burglars. There are only two dectives on
the Boston force who amount to anything
Gerraughty and Houghton. The chief Of
police is regarded by members of the light
fingered fraternity as dude. The speaker
doubted if he dared to go out of doors after
dark. A Boston business man at Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel told reporter that the police of
that city seemed powerless to prevent the
depredations of thieves. The superintend-
ent was unable to devise any remedy. The
chief of detectives was merely fine looking
fellow, better entertainer than anything
else.

SHAMoKIs, Pa. Dec. 2s.
The strike here continues. Upon receipt
of the notice to declare the strike off, the
local assemblies held meeting and decided
that there was no other course left but to
return to work, stipulating however, that all
members be given old positions. Among the
strikers are Mr.. Huntley, master workman
of the coal assembly and several laborers on
the coal dock who have been discharged for
refusing to work. The officials are unwil-
ling to employ these men but the strikers
refuse TO return to work on any other terms.
1t is not possible to move coal or local freight
traffic under the present circumstances, there
fore the collieries will not be worked tomor-
row. Considerable feeling is manifested.

he now holes: 81 am siXty-tWo years
old A life of quiet for few years may
give me happy and vigorous Old age.
The terrible strain during the next two
years may make me a decrepit valetudi-
marian. | cannot get any more honor in
this office. l may get dishonOr. One OF my
officers might become defRulter
and l would receive the blame.
My fear is, we will have some terrible
trouble in this city in the next two years
if the Supreme court gives the anarchists
new trial. judge Gary has told me
they could never have another trial. They
could not set jury. These men would
get out. They would be indicated and
they would cause trouble. On the other
hand if they were hung we might have con-
vulsioDs. l have been successful in being
able to quell all disturbances with the
police. The future may develop some
thing different. If | should be elected
Mayor again l should feel l would not
dare to be away from Chicago where half
a days ride could not bring me home"
